Chapter 38 Tsunami



When everyone was relaxed, a strong sense of fear seized Xia Lunong's mind.

His paws were even shaking, and he had a very bad premonition in his heart.

Xia Lunong's eyes widened and he cried out, "Meow--"

The huge dizziness sucked away his strength, making it impossible for him to cry out louder. He could only cry and touch his brother with his arm to remind him.

Everyone was shocked and dizzy. The first one to find out that something was wrong was Kong Zhi, who was sitting opposite Xia Huoqu.

"Deputy Captain Xia." Kong Zhi called out, motioning him to look at the cat.

Xia Huoqu soon realized that his brother was not right, and he quickly put his brother down, "What's wrong?"

"Meow!" Xia Lunong bumped his brother's hand with his furry head, turned his head and looked around, his emerald eyes full of anxiety.

A big earthquake just happened, and it is very likely to cause a tsunami.

They are not particularly far from the coast. If it is a tsunami, it will definitely affect them.

Xia Lunong pondered the reason for his uneasiness. After thinking about it, he realized that there could be no other reason except a tsunami.

He intuitively felt that it should be a tsunami, but he simply couldn't tell his brother. Thinking of this, he became more and more uneasy. Looking at his brother meowing, he wanted to speak directly.

Kong Zhi drew inferences from one instance and asked, "Do you need paper and pen?"

Not only Kong Zhi, but Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian also thought of it.

The two of them had a perfect understanding and looked at each other anxiously. Xia Huoqun was caressing Xia Lunong, while Yan Xinian had already quickly run into the truck, took down his backpack, took out a pen and paper and stuffed it under Xia Lunong's paw, "Come on, Xiao Nong, what do you want to say?"

Zhang Shihai and the others didn't understand why there was such a big commotion, but they didn't say anything, just stepped back and made room.

Baniu and the others were anxious, nervously watching what Xia Lunong wrote with the pen in his mouth.

Xia Lunong was full of annoyance, holding the pen in his mouth and writing big words on the white paper: 嘯

He held the pen with too much force, and the notebook was torn in several places.

Xia Huoqu asked solemnly: "Do you think there will be a tsunami? Will it affect us?"

"Meow!" Xia Lunong tapped the cat's head vigorously and screamed again, "Meow——"

Yes! Run!

When Xia Lunong made this guess, Zhang Shihai and the others thought it was ridiculous. "Even if there really is a tsunami, we have gone deep inland. How can it affect us?"

"Whether it will affect this place depends on how big the tsunami is." Xia Huoqu firmly stood on the side of his younger brother Zizai. "This place will most likely be affected. Let's get out of here as soon as possible."

In the stalemate between the two sides, an orc in Zhang Shihai's team hesitated and said, "How about I fly high up and take a look? If we don't figure it out, we don't know how far we have to run."

"This is feasible." Yan Xinian said to him understandingly, "Thank you."

"Well, it should be." The man took two steps back, took off his trousers and turned into a red-crowned crane, spreading his wings and flying high into the sky.

Xia Huoqu urged them, "Flying to the sky to check is one thing, but we also need to leave this place in time. Let's go and discuss while we hurry."

No one had any objections. The teenagers climbed to the back of the truck with their hands and feet. The other adults who could transform into beasts did so and rushed forward quickly.

Xia Huoqu carried his brother to the truck, and Kong Zhi followed him.

When they were about to reach the side of the truck, Kong Zhi suddenly said, "I'll fly up and take a look. They can't fly as high as I can."

"Well?"

Kong Zhi explained, "It's safer to check more."

Kong Zhi made up his mind, put the cat on the passenger seat, took off his pants, took a few steps, and quickly transformed into a huge eagle.

The eagle ran a few steps on the ground, flapped its wings, and flew vertically into the sky.

Xia Huoqu urged the people behind him and said calmly, "Don't wait for us to leave here first!"

Ba Niu had already counted the number of people in the car, "Deputy Captain Xia, we are all here and can drive now."

"Okay." Xia Huoqu responded in a deep voice, started the truck, and drove out slowly.

Xia Lunong lay sickly on the passenger seat, and now she had closed her eyes in exhaustion.

The man in Zhang Shihai's team, whose beast form was a red-crowned crane, came back first, wiped his face and said, "Maybe I didn't reach a high enough position, I didn't see the tsunami, the sea in the distance was very calm."

Xia Huoqu asked, "Really?"

The man nodded, "Anyway, I didn't see it."

Xia Huoqu glanced at his brother. If it wasn't a tsunami, he couldn't imagine what other disaster could make them so anxious.

"Roar!" Yan Xinian roared beside him.

Xia Huoqu and him had been playing together since childhood, and he knew his thoughts very well. As soon as he looked into his eyes, he knew what he was thinking.

Xia Huoqu nodded, "You're right, we should wait for Kong Zhi to see what his answer is."

Yan Xinian turned around and urged the people behind him.

Even if there was no answer for the time being, they had to move forward.

Xia Huoqu glanced at the sky. The huge eagle had completely flown away from their sight at some point.

The sky was nothing but white clouds and blue sky. Only when Xia Huoqu and his companions concentrated their eyes and looked carefully could they see a black shadow flying upwards.

The red-crowned crane also flew quite high, but at least it was within human sight.

The giant eagle was different. It flew too high and too fast.

Everyone hoped that he would bring accurate information to everyone after he came back.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes... After about ten minutes, the giant eagle fell from the sky.

Xia Huoqu stepped on the brakes.

The giant eagle quickly changed back to human form in front of the car, without even having time to put on his pants,

and quickly explained the situation, "I didn't see the tsunami when I just flew up, I only saw the sea water quickly retreating into the sea, at least more than a hundred meters!" The waves retreating into the sea is a typical sign before the arrival of a tsunami, and the distance of the ebb tide is closely related to the height of the tsunami.

Xia Huoqu said without hesitation: "A huge tsunami is really coming, everyone, don't delay, hurry, let's go to the top of the mountain!"

The base is in the mountains, and they have been heading into the mountains most of the time. Now they want to escape into the mountains, and it is convenient to drive.

Xia Huoqu opened the driver's seat, slammed the door shut, and told Kong Zhi, who had just put on his clothes, "Sit tight, fasten your seat belts, and wrap up the cat. We are leaving now!"

Kong Zhi felt extremely tired after flying so high in one breath.

After sitting in the passenger seat, he didn't want to say a word, but just hugged the soft cat and gently stroked its back.

Xia Huoqu's hands were steady. He stepped on the accelerator, turned the direction slightly, and roared towards the mountain.

The beastmen in front of the car and in the air each used their own methods and ran all the way.

When they first started running at high speed, everyone still doubted whether Kong Zhi's information was accurate, and they still had some energy left to run.

They had not run for more than ten minutes when a huge rumble came from the distant sea.

The sound continued, as if a monster was chasing them and trying to catch them.

Everyone's faces changed. No need to urge them anymore. They all ran forward with their wings flapping.

Kong Zhi suddenly opened his eyes in the co-pilot seat, "I'll fly to the sky to keep watch for everyone!"

Xia Huoqu did not refuse, "Be careful!"

Xia Huoqu quickly stopped the car, and Kong Zhi got out of the car, turned back into a beast, ran a few steps, and flew into the sky.

The truck started again, and Xia Huoqu looked ahead intently, driving the truck like a sports car.

The rumbling sound behind them was getting louder.

The tsunami was chasing them much faster than they were running for their lives.

Everyone was praying that they could go faster and faster, and that the tsunami behind them would stop in time.

In the car fight, the lips of the teenagers turned pale with fear.

If the truck was really swallowed by the tsunami, the bird-beastmen who could fly would have the highest chance of survival. The beastmen running outside were very strong, so they should be fine. The most likely to get into trouble were them.

The lips of the teenagers moved quickly, and they were silently praying to the gods to bless them. The sound of

the tsunami behind them was getting louder and louder, and the rumbling made people's ears numb.

"Jie——" Kong Zhi's voice came from the sky.

Kong Zhi was reminding them that the tsunami was approaching.

Everyone got the hint that those who could run should run faster, and those who could fly should fly higher.

Xia Huoqu drove wildly, not caring if the car would be damaged or not. He just wanted to drive at the highest speed within the controllable range.

"Jeez--!!!"

Kong Zhi reminded them again, and his voice was more tense than the last time, which was a reminder that the tsunami was approaching.

Everyone ran desperately.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the tsunami behind them gradually subsided.

It seemed that it lacked the stamina and finally retreated after reaching a certain position.

Xia Huoqu slowly stepped on the brakes, lowered the window, and shouted to the sky: "Kong Zhi, what's the situation with the tsunami? Is it starting to retreat?"

Xia Lunong was awakened by his brother's voice and slowly woke up from the passenger seat.

The irritability in his heart was gone, leaving only the weak legs and headache after exhaustion.

He held the cat's paw in his pocket and looked at his brother, "Meow."

He must have started to retreat, he no longer felt the danger.

At the same time, Kong Zhi in the sky also barked "Jie", and the sound was also much calmer.

Xia Huoqu knew as soon as he heard it that the crisis was over.

Xia Huoqu breathed a sigh of relief, and all the strength in his body was released at once. He shouted out of the car window: "It should be fine. Everyone check it out. If it is confirmed to be safe, we will rest here."

"Roar!" Yan Xinian responded first.

"Chirp!" Zhang Shihai in the sky also responded with the bird and beast people.

Xia Lunong suddenly raised his cat head, twitched his pink nose and sniffed the air.

He faintly smelled the fishy smell of the sea.
